See Peppers thread for a continuation
He was very young and raw when he was drafted, had pretty bad coach and QBs play, and still had pretty solid years his first 2 years. 2019 was lost to injury and his usage was down last year to injury, weather and Hooper. But he’s never really played badly. Now that a lot is right with the team, I agree, he could have a big year.This could be the season when the Chief finally gets it.
NFL Week 1 Game Recap: Kansas City Chiefs 33, Cleveland Browns 29 | NFL News, Rankings and Statistics | PFF
The Kansas City Chiefs began their AFC title defense with a 33-29 come-from-behind victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season.www.pff.com
Tight end David Njoku was a matchup nightmare, grabbing all three of his contested catches and translating two of them into explosive plays.
I think there is absolutely a chance of this.Any chance we sign chief to an extension and cut Hooper after this season? I'm not sure about Hooper's contract situation...
Fully agreed.I think there is absolutely a chance of this.
They will make a choice between Njoku and Hooper for 2022, keep Bryant on his rookie deal, and draft a TE to keep the pipeline flowing in 2022 draft
Browns will just have to take a huge hit to their cap space by cutting Hooper, but I think there is a pretty high possibilityI think there is absolutely a chance of this.

I just have a sneaking suspicion you're going to see players willing to take a cut to keep playing here.Is there any chance at all that they might try to restructure/ask Hooper to take a pay cut before outright cutting him?
And if so, what would that look like?
my guess is the short answer is that Hooper doesnt want to restructure. The browns dont use him like he was used in atlanta and so he has seen a huge drop off in stats. I am sure he thinks another team would be willing to offer more money on the open market than the browns are.Is there any chance at all that they might try to restructure/ask Hooper to take a pay cut before outright cutting him?

edit: obviously if the numbers are close it becomes a possibility but I can imagine the browns wanting to spend more than 4-5 million on Hooper especially if they are able to resign Njoku in the 7 million range
